Dani G A very much "Malickesque" film, with the same kind of narrative, cinematography, shots, editing, etc... But this one with a star-studded cast. I would've liked to see more of Cate Blanchett Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Thomas P I think I kind of felt something by the end but it's just so tedious and structureless that I can't really resonate with much right now. Pretty unique but a shorter runtime would have probably made It a more enjoyable "vibes" type of movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Bunk M "Cook" Michael Fassbender leads us through the squealing Austin, TX music scene with "Faye" Rooney Mara, the beautiful, chameleon transplant, and "B.V" the guitar toting golden mane. Director Terrence Malick's brilliance is on full display, via the unmistakable strides of this All Star Cast. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a polarizing romantic drama type of character study with an interesting fly-on-the-wall visual style but even viewers who say the film is often too slow or alienating can't deny Terrence Malick's magnetism. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review William L This stretch of Terrence Malick films is the first time I've set aside viewings specifically to catch up on a single director, and the first time that I've had a chance to see how a director changes from film to film. For most of his films since 2000, Malick has been employing a very similar style, essentially a montage of starkly edited clips that focus on the moments between the crescendos, stepping away from traditional Hollywood practices. He has always excelled at shot design, lighting, anf framing, and his idiosyncratic story design of recent years has been paired often quite effectively with the cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki; the fluidity and natural light employed typically blend very well with the stream-of-consciousness approach to storytelling. For some subject material, this approach seems to be appropriate (for instance, in the soul-searching of John Smith and Pocahontas as they are forced to explore clashing ways of life in The New World, or the mental and emotional wanderings of a lone, disaffected individual in the glitz of Hollywood in Knight of Cups). In Song to Song, it all doesn't seem to come together nearly as well. Thematically it's a slight variation on territory that he's covered before, and the vehicle actually seems to be far less impactful; it often seems more akin to a soap opera than a serious drama, something like an artistic rendition of a long Dallas episode. The acting quality is decent, but won't blow you away. If you like the formula (and it does seem like a formula by this point), you likely already have a much-preferred version of it in Malick's filmography. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/22 Full Review Alvise F The worst mess of Malick's career. Tedious and chaotic. Completely disjointed and devoid of that visceral intimacy achieved with "The Tree of Life", last effectively well-made work. The author has definitively standardized his style by depriving it of any depths, leaving only a vague and superficial impression.
